How Can I Have My Pre-Pregnancy Body Shape? What is the Right Surgery for That?

Your body undergoes vast changes during pregnancy and childbirth. It takes time for you to recover. It is nothing unusual to get back to your pre-pregnancy body shape. 

However, it is a common scenario that women encounter overwhelming post-delivery pressures. It may provoke insecurities about their physique. Therefore ladies opt for the mommy makeover surgery post-childbirth. 

What is mommy makeover surgery?

Mommy makeover” is an umbrella term for a combination of body contouring techniques. It may be done to enhance your physical changes that developed post-pregnancy. The prime reason for its popularity is it has no predestined components. Each approach is customised to suit your unique requirements.

Mommy makeover procedure includes multiple procedures. It involves targeting rigid fat in different areas and reshaping your breasts and buttocks and restoring your vaginal tightness. However, a mommy makeover surgery mainly focuses on your breast and abdomen. They are likely the main organs of transition with motherhood.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, your breasts may enlarge or deflate or sag. Getting back to ‘normal’ requires a either a loss in breast size or restoring the volume and lifting up the breast tissues. 

Moreover, your abdominal muscle and skin may distend to accommodate your baby. However, post-delivery, these layers do not retract. It may appear saggy. However, it is essential to note that a mommy makeover does not ensure your pre-pregnancy body. The aim is to give you a natural, aesthetic and toned physique.

How is mommy makeover surgery done?

During pregnancy, you may put on weight. The subcutaneous fat may accumulate mainly on your abdomen, hips, waist and buttocks. Liposuction eliminates these rigid fats deposits effectively.

Liposuction surgery is one of the most highlighted plastic surgeries. The advanced technology of  MicroAire and VASER technologies is implemented in Liposuction. It ensures the procedure is minimally invasive and safe. Moreover, it expedites the recovery with exceptional results.

You are administered anaesthesia.  Your surgeon makes a minor incision on the surgical site.  They use power-assisted or ultrasound-driven tools to eliminate excess fat. An ultrasound-assisted tool like VASER also shrinks and tightens your skin. 

Tummy Tuck -The Highlight of   Mommy Makeover Surgery

The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a staple of this procedure. It targets the most vital area – your abdomen. It excises both abnormal fat and skin precisely. You may opt for a full or mini tummy tuck. It depends on the amount of abnormal skin you have. If you opt for a full tummy tuck, your umbilicus gets repositioned. It can also rectify the divarication of your recti muscles. 

 Dr Priya Bansal at RG Aesthetics implements horizontal and vertical muscle plication. It tightens your abdominal muscles with a better-toned appearance.  The hi-lateral tension technique is used to close the incision. It is done by gathering together your lateral skin layers.
